An elderly hedgehog near Halftooth speaks from his hunched position. "Hello, young un. Name's Claran. If you want advice, just ask me. The basics are... One: We're all friends here. Only working together can we escape. Two: We can't escape unless we capture Licka Ricka, or whatever his name is. I've been here eight seasons, and escaped thrice to boot. But every time I ran away, the little ruffians recaptured me with slingstones so thick I couldn't look anywhere and not see a flock o' `em. Three: Don't try anything until you bring it before the others. Hmph! We're not worked here, only starved and beaten. We're kept to suit Tikka's cruelty, and only that. Try and see if the others will talk." A big otter joins them. "Ello, th' name's Vanno, an' these are me crew- or wot's left of `em. Meet Lascan and Forge. An' wot's yer name-?"
